| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I have a good one for you.
He said we should just tear this down.
You can smell the rats.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, it is exactly what you would expect from a fascist.
Okay, so we could expect that from a fascist.
What if I told you that was actually the Baltimore mayor herself, who is a person of color who said that quote, not Donald Trump.
Well, I would say that you know it's a horrible thing to say.
So what do you guys think about the Baltimore stuff in general?
Oh God, he's an honorable.
I don't have words for like what an idiot he is.
He's a just despicable human being.
So have you heard about all the controversy surrounding Trump and his controversy?
Yes.
What do you think about it?
Um it's disturbing.
It's not only is this disturbing as a regular citizen, but for him to be at the helm of the United States, that's for everybody, is disturbing the words in which he use and goes out the way to use to be a that's all he is.
A lot of people were saying that it was prejudice of him.
Do you agree with that sentiment?
I believe that he knew what he was saying and how to say it in order to elicit the response that he wanted to, which is of uh that of the overtones.
What type of words do you think he used talking about Baltimore specifically that would be infested terrible conditions, like he acts like people of color only lives in slums, but yet he forget that his son in-law Kushner has some of the most deplorable housing there he is in Baltimore and is getting federal money for it.
He's calling it a drug-infested area.
Oh, I do remember that.
You know, look, this is the man who said that you know he doesn't want immigrants from whole countries rather than these are human beings.
Look, the man is a fascist.
And he and his whole regime, they are rapidly consolidating fascism in this country so that he would make statements like that.
You know, because I w you would say that him saying I left my community of Baltimore a drug-infested area.
That's kind of fascist.
Yeah.
So this is a quote from 1999.
He's talking about Baltimore.
He left Baltimore.
He said this morning I left my community of Baltimore a drug-infested area.
Well, you you notice he always uses the word infest when he's referring to like people of color or places where people of color live.
It is it's such a you know, what's it dog whistle what to his base that like go more's a depth about that.
I like that.
Go and go more go more into depth about that.
I like that.
Well, I mean, that's how he stirs up his base by by race baiting.
And it it's sickening how he's you know tearing our country apart.
It really is.
And lowering lower, you know, debasing the presidency, debasing everything, and destroying our democracy.
With this comment, especially.
Yeah, oh sure, sure.
I mean it's all part of his plan.
I mean, they even came out and said is like their election strategy.
He said that.
Oh, uh no, I don't think he said that, but in the party they did, you know, kind of admit that it's it's race baiting is part of their strategy to whip up their, you know, like uneducated white base.
So I'm gonna read you this quote.
They said we should just tear this down.
Oh, you can smell the rats.
Oh, he must have been talking about himself.
Okay.
He couldn't have been talking about Baltimore.
He's talking about himself.
Especially each district, we know that each district or cities have they have to come a little l uh a better way than some others do.
But still, you're the president of the United States.
And if you can't find the words in which to say, okay, there's some work to need to be done, let's do it, let's pull up our sleeves, let's boost the economy, let's get these people, let's do what we need to do to uplift everyone.
But he doesn't do that.
He said we're talking about a community in which half of the people don't have jobs, a community in which there are hundreds of buildings that are that are uninhabitable.
What do you think about those quotes?
Well, those specific quotes I would have to say that.
Well, um, the way that I would uh I guess frame it is that again going back to trying to elicit a response uh that he knew what he was saying and he knew what the opposition and the and his party would say uh or do I have a good one for you.
He said we should just tear this down.
You can smell the rats.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, it is exactly what you would expect from from a fascist.
Okay, so we could expect that from a fascist.
What if I told you that was actually the Baltimore mayor herself, who is a person of color who said that quote, not Donald Trump.
Well, I would say that you know it's a horrible thing to say.
Do you still think that she's a fascist?
I don't think that's the that's not the reason I think Trump is a fascist.
It is exactly what you would expect from from a fascist.
This is who he is.
It's not even just the strategy, but this if he said it back ten years ago, obviously that's who he is.
What if I told you that was actually Elijah Cummings himself saying that quote in a speech?
Oh wow.
I you know, I'm not I am surprised, but is it still if Elijah Cummings said it?
No, because obviously he's black and that's a predominantly black area, so no, it wouldn't be.
It would be an assessment of you know where he where he's from.
So this is a good one that I think um relates to what you were saying about how he thinks black people only live in like slums and all this stuff.
He said Baltimore teenagers between the ages of 15 and 19 face poorer health conditions and a worse economic outlook than those in distressed cities in Nigeria, India, China, and South Africa.
Okay.
For is for us to be one of the richest countries, that could be true.
But here's the thing systematic and the stuff that they put when we from slavery to now, those things are still in place.
So people um the health care is probably five, six times as much for somebody of color than it is for a white non for a white person.
Um jobs are not in the city, they have destroyed those.
So yeah, we're probably right, but we need to do something about it.
Since you're the savior, as you call yourself, that you can get it done.
Why haven't you put your money where your mouth is prior to you becoming president of the United States?
Now that you are president of the United States, you're too busy doing a Twitter war than you are doing actual policies that will uh lift everyone up out of poverty.
I left my community of Baltimore drug infested area.
That was actually Elijah Cummings himself saying that.
Is Elijah Cummings a fascist of color?
Again, I don't think that a statement like that makes you a fascist or not a fascist.
I think it's a whole program that makes you a fascist.
I think it is a program of of you know mass incarceration, it is a program of attacking women, bragging about grabbing pussies.
We should just tear the s down.
You can smell the rats.
Did he say that?
The Baltimore mayor said that herself.
Wow, wow, I'm surprised.
Is that r no?
I mean, if it's where you're from and you're calling calling it out for what it is, I think that's totally different.
What if I told you that the quote I just read you is actually from Bernie Sanders himself.
It wasn't from Trump.
I know, it was a long time ago.
But that's the truth.
And yes, and there's a change.
Sometimes, but see, here's the thing.
As um you knew it was from Bernie Sanders.
You can do things like that.
You can say stuff that will shake up and try to put some um laws and order play in place for it to change.
But when you're a president of the United States, you have to be careful about the words that you use.
So do you think there's a different meaning between Trump saying it and Bernie saying it?
No, but see, Bernie's always fought for change.
Even back in he's fought for uh pre-medical health for all, he's talked about jobs, he's talking he's been consistent.
Is it change your mind about Trump's comments then being being not at all because Trump has like done So much that's so obvious about like targeting people of color in Congress and people of color.
I mean he targets a lot of people, granted, but he really goes after people of color.
And so no, it doesn't change my mind at all.
We should just tear this down.
Oh, you can smell the rats.
That's from the Baltimore mayor herself.
Okay.
Are there any racial undertones in that?
Uh I guess if those were attributable to the mayor and the mayor actually said that.
Uh uh again, I I wouldn't say uh going back to my original comment with regards to Donald Trump.
I'm not saying that his comments were what the motivation is is to have people think or the opponents to get engage in a comment that would uh they would argue that that would be a r comment.
Thank you for your opinions and thank you for elaborating and everything.
So thank you so much.
These are the people that are keeping me out here documenting everything that's going on, these crazy psycho-liberals, these are the people because they go to the store, infowar store.com and they purchase the products.
Do you guys purchase anything else besides shirts?
Super blue toothpaste, the brush with the everyday.
I love it.
I do the super male vitality.
Did you take that a couple times a day?
Because everybody brushes their teeth anyway, or they should.
So why not get your toothpaste from Infowarsore.com, right?
So easy.
And you can put it on auto ship and you never run out.
It's it's seriously the best toothpaste I've ever had.
